Pointless trivia: Apropos of nothing - I just remembered that Lewis Black calls himself a socialist but he likes to play golf.

I never bothered to google what he meant. I knew he had a lib conception of socialism so I shouldn't have been surprised by what follows. Still - it doesn't seem very left of him to focus on what he calls "the middle"...
There does seem to be some momentum when it comes to Democratic-Socialist candidates, with the election of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. Does that at least give you a glimmer of hope?
No it doesn’t, because it’s not going to happen. The one thing I’ve learned in my lifetime is that we’ve got to get to the middle before we start pushing things in other directions. We’ve gotta get to the middle, and they have to sit down and decide how to do things.
